Samsung Galaxy S24 lineup could likely be trimmed down to only two options, the entry-level S24, and the S24 Ultra, dropping the "Plus" variant.

A Samsung and a Galaxy signs are seen at the Samsung booth during CES 2017 at the Las Vegas Convention Center on January 5, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. CES, the world's largest annual consumer technology trade show, runs through January 8 and features 3,800 exhibitors showing off their latest products and services to more than 165,000 attendees.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Lineup to Skip 'Plus' Option
As per a recent report by Notebook Check, a South Korean news outfit, The Elec, reports that Samsung is planning to scrap the Galaxy S24 Plus. And instead, the upcoming flagship series would most likely only include two offerings, the S24, and the S24 Ultra.
The Korean website claims that the giant phone maker is currently working on only two devices, named DM1 and DM3. These two are supposedly the standard S24 and the higher-end S24 Ultra.
On the other hand, it looks like the South Korean tech firm abandoned the DM2 project, which presumably should have been the S24 Plus or S24+.
Given that, The Elec assumes that Samsung is currently looking to release only two devices for its S24 series. However, this might not be final just yet.
According to a news story by GSM Arena, Samsung could potentially "re-introduce" the DM2 as the production of its upcoming flagship series nears.
After all, the renowned tech firm is still gearing up for the debut of its S23 lineup. So the production of its next-generation device might still take a couple of months. In that period, the market might still see some significant changes that might revise plans of Samsung moving forward.
It might entirely depend on the sales performance of the all-new Galaxy S23 Plus.
